Hey everyone! I’m back for another My Dollar Store DIY! I’ve recently joined a group of talents blogging buddies to create projects using items from the dollar store! The first time I participated was in May and I created a fun Minnie Mouse sun hat for my older daughter! I love how it challenges me to think outside the box to create fun items for a small price!

This month’s theme is all about simple gifting. You know how at the end of the school year most (and I say most because I’m not one) give their child’s teacher a gift?! Well…I dropped the ball on that one this year. I knew what I wanted to give Lucy’s preschool teacher but never got the time to sit my but down and get to work! Well this week we finally got our gift to Miss Crystal. Better late than never right?!Read More

I’ve been excited to create this project for quite some time. I’ve searched for a pillow on Etsy with the quote “I belong to you, you belong to me, you’re my sweetheart” and couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. Once I received my CricutI thought this was the perfect opportunity to make my own!

I’m a fan of The Lumineers, mostly because the cellist is one of my best friends! I’ve watched The Lumineers become who they are from the beginning. I use to go see shows where there were only 30 people in the audience and they’d come out to the center of the small bar and perform “Ho Hey!” It has been so fun watching them grow and now performing in a stadium setting.

Hey everyone! I’m back again with another fun project that I made with my new favorite toy, Cricut! Okay it’s not really a toy but I feel like it is! If you missed my first project, New Mama Mug, then head on over and see more about what Cricut is and how it works! You can create so many things with a Cricut and one of my favorites has been making cards for different occasions. I’ve made cards for birthdays, a wedding, thank you cards, you name it…if I’ve needed a card I’ve gone to my Cricut. I have so much fun looking through the Cricut Design Space and seeing all the different templates they have for card making.Read More

If you haven’t heard of this amazing little machine called the Cricut Explore Air 2 then you have come to the right place. This machine is magical in my opinion and I’ve been so giddy since I received it from Cricut. It’s like a printer but can do so much more. It can draw images, write beautiful calligraphy and cut out almost anything you could ever imagine! It uses a laser cutter to create projects using vinyl, cardstock, fabric…you name it, it can probably be cut! Plus with the Cricut Explore Air 2 you have the option to cut a faster speed, up to 2x faster!Read More
